A historically busy month for Tuck, this February has been rich with activity and action, including community-building events, timely discussions led by all-star speakers, and a month full of programming to honor Black Legacy Month.
This month, the Tuck and Dartmouth communities came together to honor and celebrate Black Legacy Month with virtual events, movie nights, and open forums dedicated to recognizing the Black experience, exploring topical issues in the Black community, and celebrating the Black community’s many contributions to our campus and the world at large. Themed "Defining a Generation: The Triumph, Power, and Legacy of Black Women" events included a Black History Month Book Club featuring How to be an Antiracist by historian Ibram X. Kendi; a series of fireside chats focused on Minorities in Private Equity; a movie screening of One Night In Miami hosted by Black Students Association at Tuck, Tuck Africa Club, and the Film Club; a Black History Month trivia night co-hosted with the Geisel School of Medicine; and "Smart, Funny and Black,” a fun event hosted by comedian, actress, and producer Amanda Seales of HBO’s Insecure.
The Black Students Association at Tuck, Tuck Africa Club, and the Film Club hosted a screening of "One Night in Miami."
Over here in Admissions, our evaluation team has spent most of February reading Round 2 applications, while our Tuck Admissions Associates (TAAs) continue to interview applicants. We have also offered a lot of programming this month for Round 1 admitted students, and have worked with students, centers, alumni, and staff to host events that are focused on building the bonds that are so integral to the Tuck experience.
For those of you looking to apply in Rounds 3 and 4, our application deadlines are March 29 and June 1. ICYMI here are the top Tuck360 Admissions posts your peers are reading this application cycle:

While for many the Super Bowl is a main attraction, for us at Tuck, the annual Super Bowl Ad Review led by Professor of Corporate Communication Paul Argenti and branding expert and Professor Kevin Lane Keller, is a beloved event that our community greatly looks forward to. Students, faculty, and staff spiritedly debate the best (and worst) ads they saw the night before. This year, Cheetos’ “Wasn’t Me” and Amazon’s Alexa ads were selected as favorites among the Tuck community.
At Tuck, our power is in our community, and our unique living and learning environment fosters community through every season. As winter settled in and the Green was blanketed in snow, Dartmouth created an outdoor ice rink with Free-Skate-Friday for Tuck students to enjoy winter in the Upper Valley. For those more inclined to stay in on chilly days, Tuck’s Southern Appreciation Society took time this month to host a biscuits and gravy making class for the Tuck community. (It was no Waffle House, but it was close enough!) The Tuck Asia Business Club shared the Lunar New Year Celebration and ushered in the Year of the Ox with a movie night and dumpling making for all. The Tuck Volunteers Club also chose this month to Spread the Love, with a food and donations drive to give back to extraordinary causes in the Upper Valley.
As with every month here, when it comes to an end we look back amazed at all the exciting moments and extraordinary events that were packed into these 28 days. After all, where else can you go to class in the morning, go ice skating in the middle of town, and listen in on a conversation between Dean Slaughter and former Secretary of State Madeline Albright all before 1 p.m.?

“I am inspired by the creative resolve that Tuck students, faculty, staff, and alumni continue to summon in ways that allow us to create our School’s distinct MBA experience. It has long been the case that students thrive at Tuck most fully when they invest in the success of others as well as themselves. Teamwork, trust, risk-taking and joy flow from this co-investment. If you are your best self when working with and through others, there is no better place for you than Tuck to prepare for a lifetime of impact and wise, decisive leadership.”
